I can remember when some acoustic guitarists said electric guitars were toys for people who wanted to pretend they could play guitar.
Not the same. Electric guitars are played by humans versus computer generated AI crap. But I understand where you are coming from. Django’s fans called him a “Judas” when he switched from acoustic to electric, but they soon came around to accepting it.
Interesting thought. Don't agree, though.
On that subject, who would you say are the truly technical electric guitar players?
John McLaughlin?
George Harrison?
Jeff Beck?
Others?
